Habitat:
The habitat consists of rocky areas with sparse vegetation and encompasses open woodlands, bunchgrass areas, canyons, gullies, slopes, and mesa tops (Degenhardt et al. 1996, McGuire 1996, Bartlett and Bartlett 1999, Hammerson 1999, Stebbins 2003, Trauth et al. 2004). When inactive, these lizards hide under rocks or in crevices. Eggs are laid under large rocks or in burrows (Collins 1982).
Range:
Range extends from southeastern Utah, southern Colorado, Kansas, and central and southern Missouri south through Arizona, New Mexico, western and central Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to Sonora and north-central mainland Mexico (Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi) (McGuire 1996, Stebbins 2003). Records for Louisiana may not represent natural occurrences (Dundee and Rossman 1989, McGuire 1996).
